Abstract
An electronic cigarette includes a battery assembly and an atomizer assembly within a housing with the battery assembly electrically connected to the atomizer assembly. The housing has one or more air inlets. A liquid storage component is in contact with a porous component of the atomizer assembly, with the porous component having a run-through hole. A heating wire is in an air flow path through the run-through hole.
Claims27
A vaporizing device comprising:
- a housing having a central longitudinal axis;
- an atomizer assembly in the housing, the atomizer assembly having a cylindrical hollow porous component including first and second circular end openings having equal diameters, and with the first and second end openings coaxial with the central longitudinal axis;
- a wire coil inside the cylindrical hollow porous component, the wire coil having a longitudinal axis parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the housing;
- an air flow path from an inlet through the cylindrical hollow porous component from the wire coil to an outlet;
- and
- the cylindrical hollow porous component in contact with liquid from a liquid storage component, the cylindrical hollow porous component configured to move liquid through the cylindrical hollow porous component towards the wire coil via capillary action.

An electronic vaporizing device, comprising:
- a housing having a central longitudinal axis and at least one air inlet and an outlet;
- a hollow porous component spaced longitudinally apart from the outlet and including first and second circular end openings having equal diameters, and with the first and second end openings coaxial with the central longitudinal axis;
- a wire coil in the hollow porous component, with the hollow porous component in the housing and having a central axis parallel to the central longitudinal axis;
- the hollow porous component moving liquid from a liquid storage component to the wire coil via capillary action;
- an atomization chamber within the hollow porous component between the first and second end openings of the hollow porous component;
- an open air flow path from the at least one air inlet into the first circular end opening through the atomization chamber in the hollow porous component and out the second circular end opening, to the outlet;
- and
- the wire coil parallel to the central longitudinal axis.
5 more elements
An electronic vaporizing device, comprising:
- a housing having an inlet for allowing air flow into the housing and an outlet for allowing air to flow out of the housing;
- a cylindrical hollow porous component having an outside diameter and inner cylindrical sidewalls forming an atomization chamber, with the cylindrical hollow porous component in the housing and having a central axis parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the housing, the atomization chamber within the cylindrical hollow porous component having a first end opening, to allow air to flow into the atomization chamber, and having a second end opening, to allow vapor to flow out of the atomization chamber;
- an air flow path from the inlet into the first end opening through the atomization chamber and out the second end opening to the outlet, with the outlet centered on the central axis of the cylindrical hollow porous component;
- and
- a wire coil inside of the cylindrical hollow porous component and wound around an axis parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the housing, the wire coil spaced longitudinally away from the outlet by a dimension greater than the outside diameter of the cylindrical hollow component, and with the cylindrical hollow porous component configured to move liquid via capillary action towards the wire coil.
